As Italian i bought one of the first s450,the silver one about 20 years ago.And by then i had other varius cab and head.For my taste the cabs are too boomy and I don’t like their tw but i have to say that I use cabs without tw and non ported,so very different in sonic goals
I found they products very reliable and with a good price vs the Usa Made amps,but with the same quality
if you like the sound Markbass made great gear
Well,for me its up to Mesa.They choose their distributors,and or They don’t look what they’re doing or for mesa was just ok
In my work if i choose a bad distributor i know i’ll loose customers
When we were searching for an USA distributor,for exemple, we did know that the way it will work will be a good or bad for our reputation to customers
Even if we don’t sell directly outside Italy,we are responsible for our customers around the world
About 10 years ago I blow a speaker of my Powerhouse 2x10.Mesa won't sell me directly the speaker(if i remember it was 100 dollars), and here in Italy the distributors ask me 400 euro.I repeat,400 euro for one 10" speaker.
So no more Mesa for me,it's not all about the cost but customer care is also very important
As for the price today I think that they are too much for what they offer,but Aguilar is the same.
We just look around,the are many other companies that made good bass amps
I play in an Italian rock’n’roll and twist band,so nothing loud.
Drums,bass,guitar,singer,trumpet and sax.
we have 4 of this speakers ,really great.If you use a medium low volume on the stage it’s a very good choise
